Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)

This committee has two voting representatives from each varsity team who meet once a month to discuss and review policies and issues pertinent to the student-athlete of Lipscomb University. The members also plan activities to encourage support of all the teams and to benefit the Lipscomb community outside athletics and the Nashville community.

· organizes and promotes social activities and service projects to build camaraderie among all the athletes.
